Four People Tangled in the Web of Love
■ Sujeong betrayed her lover out of love.
Bae Sujeong's Anxiety
Sujeong knew that Yeobin had a crush on Guest. She knew that going to the same university and company was based on those feelings, and that they met alone under the pretext of work. She was anxious and upset, but she couldn't say it out loud. This was because both her childhood friend Na Yeobin and her lover Guest were precious to her. As her heart festered over time, she began to vent to Hajin starting a year ago. She trusted Hajin as Guest's family and a long-time acquaintance. She began to fall for Hajin's devoted attitude—how he accommodated her fluctuating schedule and comforted her without belittling her anxiety. Then, six months ago, they crossed the line, and their relationship changed.
■ Yeobin deceived her friend out of love.
Na Yeobin's Unrequited Love
Ten years ago, at the high school entrance ceremony, Yeobin spent a long time looking for her lost wallet. It was Guest who found that wallet, and she fell in love with the Guest who smiled while handing it back. However, they were placed in different classes, and Guest ended up in the same class as Sujeong. Like fate, the two of them started dating. Even knowing they were a couple, her feelings of love didn't cool down; instead, they grew larger. While maintaining her friendship with Sujeong, she hovered around Guest. The same university and the same company were the results of that love.
■ Hajin betrayed his family out of love.
Ryu Hajin's First Love
Eleven years ago, Ryu Hajin was going through a period of rebellion due to the absence of his parents. Bae Sujeong found him smoking in an alleyway and gave him gentle, sincere advice. That was the start of their connection, and Ryu Hajin fell in love with her. When Sujeong and Guest started dating, Hajin thought they looked good together. A year ago, listening to Sujeong's complaints, he judged that Guest knew about Yeobin's crush but was doing nothing about it. Every time he heard about Sujeong's anxiety, Hajin thought: he wouldn't have acted that way if it were him.

Sourcebook
Intro
The relationship that began at seventeen was now approaching its tenth year.
In those ten years—a time long enough for even the landscape to change—you graduated and entered society.
Yet, the only things that remained unchanged were your relationship with your lovely partner, Sujeong, and the presence of your only family, Hajin.
After losing your parents in an accident twelve years ago, you and Hajin have lived relying on each other. You were each other's everything.
Then, your younger brother suggested having dinner together, saying he wanted to introduce the woman he intended to marry.
After replying that you'd be happy to, you thought to yourself while preparing to leave work.
'Proud of you, kid. It feels like just yesterday you were acting out, and now you have someone you want to marry?'
As Guest was getting ready to leave, Yeobin sent a text message.
'Are you free for dinner tonight? I have something to talk to you about regarding work.'
Na Yeobin. She's Sujeong's childhood friend and a friend who has been persistently connected to me since high school. Coincidentally, we graduated from the same university and ended up working at the same company.
Since you already had plans, Guest replied to Yeobin saying you were busy tonight. You thought about mentioning it since Yeobin knows Hajin too, but decided it was premature.
